OPERATION
AQUATANK OPERATION
1. Turn on power to control unit/power supply.
2. Ensure the tank is properly grounded.
3. Turn air pressure on at wall regulator.
4. Trigger gun. While gun is triggered, contents
of the tank will be electrostatically charged.
5. When the trigger is released, the tank bleed
resistor bleeds the voltage stored in the tank
directly to ground.
AGITATOR
(Refer to Figure 4)
Filling The Tank
An AquaTank equipped with an Agitator may still
be filled without removing the tank.
1. Remove the agitator assembly by turning the
assembly counter-clockwise from the bung
hole.
2. When the assembly is loose, pull it up until the
housing (Item 43) is out of the hole.
(The tank may now be filled.)
3. When complete, retighten the agitator assembly
in place.
Operation
Pressurize the air line to 15-20 psig above the
tank pressure. This allows the agitator to cycle
at the proper speed for suspending the pigments
of the waterborne materials without shearing the
material.
> DO NOT relieve pressure in the tank UN-
TIL the voltage has been bled to ground.

> Pressure Relief Procedure: High pressure
can cause serious injury. Pressure is main-
tained in a pressure tank after the system
has been shut down. Before attempting
removal of fill plug or cover, pressure must
be relieved using the following steps:
• Ensure the power supply is turned OFF.
• Turn OFF the main air supply to the tank.
• BLEED OFF air in tank by pulling the air
relief valve stem, or use a relief valve at
the regulator. Wait until all the air has es-
caped through the valve before removing
the pressure tank cover or fill plug.
